My friend drove me to the party
In her red velvet dress
She's always looking at her best
For the tall and pretty boys
I'm shaking to the core now
These things get the best of me
These goddamn kids can be so mean (can be so mean)
Now here comes James with the long brown hair
A sense of bitterness fills the air
He sees me standing next to the girls
And he shakes his head
So smug he towers over me
I'm scared he's gonna' try and cause a scene
So I tell him
Patiently (patiently)
It took me a while
To be where I am now
I learnt how to fight back
You don't even wanna know how
He then smirks slowly
And he pats my back
He says
The girls want a real boy
And you're not that
The girls want a real boy
And you're not that
Now everybody's dancing
And I'm just sitting in the corner
With my vodka orange juice (vodka orange juice)
I never should have come here
But I don't have a ride home
And it's all thanks to you
Now I don't blame you James but I can't help the way I am
I didn't sign up for this life but I'm doing the best that I can
And it gets hard sometimes
Boy, I've tried to commit suicide multiple times

It took me a while
To be where I am now
I learnt how to fight back
You don't even wanna know how
Still I look in the mirror
And another looks back
She says, "The girls want a real boy"
She said, "The girls want a real boy"
